Whether show truck, advertising vehicle, or rolling racing team – trucks are more than just utilitarian vehicles. They are statements on wheels. Model manufacturer Hachette brings the diversity of the international truck scene to collectors' display cases with ten spectacular miniatures in scale 1:43, showcasing impressive attention to detail. What all the models have in common is the love of detail: radiator grilles, mirrors, tanks, air lines, and lettering are faithfully reproduced. Despite their compact size, the trucks boast an enormous recognition factor and tell a story of long-haul trucking culture, brand passion, and design diversity in a very small space.
The Iveco Stralis Hi-Way Truck 2016 in Abarth livery stands out, uniquely combining motorsport and commercial vehicle design. The Western Star 4900 Truck 2015 "American Eagle" is a true eye-catcher, embodying the spirit of the American flag. Motorsport fans will love the 2012 Mercedes-Benz Actros MP4 truck in AMG Petronas F1 Team livery—the perfect support vehicle for a Formula 1 weekend.
Those with a taste for Scandinavian design will appreciate the Scania 143M semi-trailer truck "The Griffin." Air deflectors, striking decorative elements, and a harmonious color scheme make this model a typical representative of Nordic truck culture. The Volvo FH16 "Moon Howler" is similarly expressive, with its wolf and moon motifs creating a particularly evocative effect.
The 1991 Renault AE 500 Magnum "Green Mamba" lives up to its name with its vibrant green snakeskin paint job. Taking a completely different approach is the 2018 Freightliner Cascadia with its digital camouflage design in blue, embodying the modern aesthetic of American trucks.
A nostalgic highlight is the 1994 Ford Aeromax "Tide Racing Team Truck": vibrant orange, sporty racing flair, and typical American design. A truck whose design is reminiscent of a 90s commercial. Then there's the 2014 MAN TGX "Woman Trucker," which stands out with its bright pink hue, and the 1998 Mercedes-Benz Actros MP1, whose "Eskimo Arctic" airbrushing combined with the blue paintwork evokes a wintery feel.
So, anyone who has always reserved a special spot on their shelf for trucks, or who wants to do so now, will find at least ten reasons to do so in this Hachette series.
